Rollovers palette Use one convenient palette to view the entire set of rollovers, slices,
image maps, and animations in a document, making authoring and navigation easier.
See "Using the Rollovers palette" on page
Transparency Apply instant transparency to Web page elements by knocking out one or
more colors. Or apply dithered transparency to create edges that blend into any Web
background. See "About optimization" on page
Quick GIF animations Start with a layered Photoshop file, and use the Animation palette
in ImageReady to convert individual layers into frames. Then apply the Tween command
to generate additional frames and smooth out the action. See
animations" on page 404.
Link generation To create a URL link, simply select an Image slice—a slice with image
data or a rollover state—and enter a URL in the Photoshop Slice Options dialog box or the
ImageReady Slice palette. See
Enjoy precise typographic control
Photoshop delivers professional-quality type controls to help you create imagery that
communicates with precision and style.
Editable text Text retains its crisp vector edges—and its editability—unless you rasterize
it (by applying a filter, for example, or flattening the layers). You can distort it, warp it, and
apply layer effects and still use the type tool to retype the text. See
layers" on page 345.
Formatting Use the Character and Paragraph palettes for precise control over individual
letters and paragraph formatting. See
"Formatting paragraphs" on page
Spelling checker Avoid misspelled words with the built-in spelling checker, which
includes search-and-replace functionality. You can even check spelling in multiple
languages within the same file—to help you create buttons for multilingual Web sites,
for example. See "Checking for spelling errors (Photoshop)" on page
Convert to Shapes Use the Convert to Shapes command to turn type into an instant
vector mask. See "Converting type to shapes (Photoshop)" on page
Stay ahead of deadlines
Photoshop helps you streamline your workflow and meet any production challenge with
tools like the File Browser that lets you manage files and folders conveniently.
Automate repetitive tasks
Streamline and simplify the production process by turning time-consuming jobs into
automated operations.
Data-driven graphics Automate the production of repetitive artwork—such as business
cards or Web banners—with the Variables feature. Design a template in Photoshop, set
elements in the template as variables, and then generate an unlimited number of unique
variations quickly by using scripts to replace the variable elements. See
driven graphics" on page
